Who's Quitting at the end of 2005

[atl_mulattamami]

Not me. At least not in 2005. I'm planning on reaching my goal in 2007 which also happens to be the year I graduate. After that I'll be in college and what not so I probably won't be on as much...I hope I never fully quit though! I'll definately be here a lot for 2006 and 2007 but I'll probably just slow down after that.

Mel,

I hope that doesn't mean you will cut back on the meetings too?

We love seeing you there.

I don't post as much as I did back in the day. I always find helpful advice or entertaining stories here.

Hey, hey, hey....I'm not saying I won't be LURKING...chile please... I gotta check up on my hair sistahs. I always know how to reach you guys, do you know how many 'friends' I have in my fotki??? Plus, I belong to other boards that aren't HARDLY as addicting as this board has been.

I'm a pretty fast learner and once I figured out what my hair needed it has become routine to me.

Den, my special ACE I will be praying for you always concerning your health and weight. I pray you keep us posted in your fotki during your transition.

I'll continue to document my transition month-to-month until I reach one year. Then I'll update every two months or so..

Really though, I wish you all the best.

Okay, so this post has gotten me out of lurkdom for a hot minute.


Actually, as some may have noticed...I have not been frequenting the board as before. For the past two and a half years I was a big-time poster, and I've benefitted from the advice given.

However, I really feel like I am "evolving" or moving on. At one point I felt, as someone put it, addicted to the site. It's great---but it feels wonderful to not be so attached that I need to stay up until 1 p.m. posting and wating for responses. So, in that way I am liberated!

Also, I am learning to love the total package that is my beauty. I am a beautiful woman...and I feel that when I was "addicted" I would alter my opinion of myself when someone made a comment--whether complimentary or critical. I love looking at albums and giving sistahs their just dues, but I was starting to get competitive. (Sigh)

Anyway, I know that the hair is only a part of what makes me me. And taking a long haitus (except for the occasional lurking) has helped boost my desire to focus on what is already perfect about Mel rather than what needs to be improved upon or what will be in Dec. of 2006.

I'm not saying I'm quitting. I am forever devoted to proper hair care--thanks all. But you won't be hearing much from Mel for a while. Who knows I may come back strong in 2006 as a poster. But I thought I owed it to the friends I have here who may be wondering whazzup.

Much love to all of you guys and Merry Christmas and/or Happy holiday season to all y'all.

Nice post.

I'll be around to lurk for a little while, but next year I'll be busy getting ready for my new role as wife and step-mommy, and I'm job-hunting right now so I won't have as much time as I used to.

Hmmm, blessed did I miss somethin. Girl you know you better PM me or call me.

On Topic:

I ain't going anywhere anytime soon. I can't stay away!!!!!

hey kizzy... i am not really leaving the site, but i just do not visit as often as i used to... i am pretty much satisified with the length of my hair now... i no longer care about length....i am just focusing on the health of my hair...my maternal grandma is begging me to go a year without cutting or trimming my hair just to see if it will grow as long as hers... i do not know if i will be able to do that...as some of the ladies here already know...LOL... i may consider it though.....but just for one year only....

This is very off-topic but your bf is just too cute!!

Say that!!

I've learned so much about caring for my hair, products and just making friends, I'll be around for a while!
